The most impressive thing of the night to me was watching Alex and Kyle battle it out. 13.8 fast lap is nasty.
I remember our conversation last Saturday about how you were doing at this track. I was not surprised that you placed well. There are other interesting trends I see from the Wednesday results, though. Informs my expectations about who I should really worry about. I do think a 32 lap run is possible, but it would be very hard. Would have to be a totally clean run, with a pretty ridiculous average lap time. If you **average** 15.5 seconds per lap over the whole race, you can just barely pull off something like a 32/8:15, basically crossing the finish line right before the buzzer. That being said, and considering who will likely place in the A and the likelihood of getting caught up with them if they get lapped, I would expect first place in the A to be something around a 31/8:05 to 8:15, with one or two errors.
All this talk about 17.5 buggy, and I wouldn't be surprised if I get hacked by a blue TLR22 at the start of the race.
